With the addition of two more U.S. Deputy Marshals, Clayton returns after escorting Storm Warrior to the docks in Boston just in time to aid Jed, who is on dangerous mission where he is outnumbered, and a Sheriff Deputy has been killed. Hunt knows his team has grown in strength, however; he is worried about U.S. Marshal Dodd, who has been staying out at Hunt's ranch recovering from a bullet wound. Hunt is overwhelmed with calls for help from victims of foul play across the desolate land where justice often falls into the victim's own two hands. It's up to Hunt and the other U.S. Marshals to be there for the ones in trouble, and to prevent innocent people from being killed, and to settle the wild western plains so the settlers will know that there is a law in these wild, and unsettled lands, and know that the criminals will pay.
